Earth Day and Lenin’s Birthday: Coincidence or Something More?

April 22nd is Earth Day. It’s also Lenin’s birthday. Conspiracy theory nuts pop a major woody over this coincidence. Just a mere two days after hearing people pull parallels between 4/20 and Hitler’s birthday, we know have to listen to the right-wing conservatives connect the dots between the day designated to inspire awareness and appreciation for the Earth‘s environment, alongside the birthday of the man who developed the pragmatic Russian application of Marxism.

While attending the big Tea Party Patriot jamboree last week at the Alameda County Fairground, Brian Sussman–an astute speaker from the conservative “Hot Talk” radio station KSFO, informed the patriotic crowd that the Earth Day/Lenin’s birthday connection was no mere coincidence……

“Earth Day was created by a bunch of communists from Stanford.” Sussman informed the red, white, and blue-clad gathering. “It’s not about clean air; it’s about power and what’s going on to make money!” he summarized about Earth Day’s origins and liberals’ plight to save the planet.

Conservatives are actually pissed off at the entire notion of celebrating Earth Day. They say that Earth Day is merely a Trojan horse in order to make Americans celebrate Lenin’s birthday. We call these conservatives “the insane”. I’ve never heard of this conspiracy theory before Obama was elected. Now that his presidency and health care reform are tearing at the very fabric of the American way of life, it’s now become a popular conservative bandwagon for Tea Party Patriots to jump on. (In between discussions on whether or not Obama was born in America.)

It’s appropriate that the two are celebrated on the same day, because there is no relevant difference between the socialist and environmentalist agendas in this country. Saving the environment is simply a euphemism for eviscerating the rights of property owners and creating a dictatorship.

Deemed as a new holy day for the Marxist faith, Earth Day has been referred to as a political holiday for those pseudo-environmentalists known as Watermelons: green on the outside but red on the inside:

For many political Leftists, environmentalism is merely a pretext through which private property and capitalism can be regulated, strangled, and finally replaced with totalitarian government ownership of everything. How could they criticize Marxist dictatorships, since their prescription for “healing the world” is socialist dictatorship?

Man, these conservatives have waaaaay too much free time on their hands. If they could only throw in Bigfoot, Tupac’s murder, and the New World Order into this conspiracy theory, these pragmatic conservatives would have one hell of a huge Internet following. Wake up America!
